Gymboree with Grandma

Hannah's Grandma Carolyn and Brooke's Grandma Alice took the girls to Gymboree for open gym yesterday.  Hannah came home covered in stamps.  The first time I took her she was afraid of the stamps, but this time she couldn't get enough.

Sprinkler Park

I had the day off today, so I took Hannah to the sprinkler park with her friends Brooke, Jake and Nate.  It was very cool, we will definitely go back this summer!  This was Hannah and Brooke's first time at the sprinkler park and both girls were very brave.  They were drenched!

I've posted a few shots below, but you can see the rest at:

Little Roughrider

Here's Hannah showing her Roeper spirit with grandma. Future Roughrider?

Li'l Kicker

We took Hannah to a soccer place called Li'l Kickers in Chicago for her cousin Jake's birthday party. Even though we were an hour past nap, she had a blast kicking the balls around. She was only sad when we told her she couldn't join the game with the big kids.  Maybe next year!

Hannah's First Chicago Trip

We are having a great time visiting Rachael and Hung in Chicago.  Apparently Hung is not well liked by kids, and we all know Hannah isn't typically a fan of men, but she cannot get enough of him!  Hung even changed his first diaper. 

The boys played golf today, so Rach, Hannah and I headed to the Zoo.  For the first time, she was fascinated by the animals.  Her favorites were the fish, meerkats, giraffe and penguins.  Each of those exhibits had glass that she could walk right up to so that she could see the animals up close.  We then headed to dinner and the neighborhood park.  Hung shot a great video of Hannah playing at the park, but decided to show it to Hannah and she accidentally deleted it.  Oh well!

Photo Shoot

Here are the rest of the images we bought from the Groupon shoot a few weeks ago.  No good family shots, so I guess we will try again in the fall.

Happy Father's Day

We took Hannah out on the boat to celebrate Father's Day, and she was NOT a fan!  She really hated her life jacket.  I did manage to snap a couple of tear free shots...  I told her that if she could get used to the helmet, a life jacket shouldn't be so bad. Apparently she disagreed!  Hopefully next time will go more smoothly.

Heading to the Mall

Hannah's grandma told her they were going to the mall to see Aunt Sara, so she grabbed the necessities (lovey, binky and her purse) and headed out the door. At this rate, she'll have a cell phone and start wearing makeup before her second birthday. They grow up too fast!

Up North Day 2

Today was another busy day, with breakfast at Art's, shopping at Cherry Republic and a trip to Leland.  Hannah devoured her second ice cream cone of the trip at Harbor House, which is the only food she has been willing to eat all weekend.  She is a big fan of her cousin Sabrina, and even gave her hugs today.

Up North Trip #1

We are having a great time up north, and our rental home is incredible.  We are staying in Glen Arbor with Jeremey, Nikki and Sabrina.  Even though it's been pretty rainy so far, we are really enjoying our vacation.  We had Italian in Suttons Bay for dinner, and after the babies went to sleep, Jordan and Jeremey decided to play with sparklers.  We even saw a fox right outside of our house.  Nikki was sure it was a puppy and wanted to bring it inside, but we were thankfully able to talk her out of it.  Looking forward to a full day tomorrow!

Family Dinner

What a Weekend!

We had a busy weekend!  Jordan threw me a surprise party at Linde's house on Friday night, and it was great celebrating my ALMOST 30th with friends and family. Still a couple of weeks left in the 20's!  Jordan did a wonderful job, complete with my favorite dessert (Just Baked Grumpy Cake) and great shirts that my brother-in-law Mike made.  Aunt Steph, Uncle Mike, Rach and Hung came in to surprise me too and it was so nice spending time with them! Hannah even came to celebrate and was partying until 9:30pm.  I think the sugar high from the birthday cake kept her going.  Macy also stayed up past her bedtime to join us - it was a perfect night!

Saturday we had family pictures and then headed out to El Barzon for dinner.  I'll post the pictures when we receive them! The photographer said we will have them by Friday.

Today was also packed with the farmer's market in the morning, then the Birmingham Fair with Charli and Brooke, and then on to Asher and Brock's first birthday. Hannah had a great time hanging out in the bounce house with a new friend. Tonight we are grilling with the family before Aunt Steph and Uncle Mike head back to NYC.

P.S.  Do not report us to CPS - Hannah did not actually consume any alchohol.  She just loves gumming the bottle.  Hilarious.
